Map View

Map View adds an interactive Google Map mode to entity list views. Records are shown as markers, grouped with clustering, and can be opened through quick detail popups directly from the map.

Marker Rendering Behavior

Map View is more flexible than a coordinates-only map:

  • If latitude and longitude exist, the record is placed directly on the map.
  • If coordinates are missing but the chosen address contains enough text data, the browser geocoder can still place the marker from the address.
  • Markers are clustered automatically for large result sets.
  • Hovering a marker shows a popup layout with record details.
  • Clicking a marker opens the record in a quick-view modal.

Marker Popup Layouts

For marker popups, the extension uses:

  • Map Marker List additional layout if the target entity defines it
  • Otherwise List Small

This lets you control which fields appear when users hover over a marker.

Global Map Behavior

The global Google Maps integration also affects Map View:

  • Scroll Wheel controls mouse-wheel zooming on the map.
